Our entire energy system is undergoing a fundamental change. Fingrid’s strategy recognises that this change is taking us toward clean energy technologies and a carbon-neutral society.
The Demand Connection Code (DCC) has been published. Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/1388 establishing a Network Code on Demand Connection took effect on 7 September 2016. Fingrid has started implementation of the network code and will present the related execution plan in November 2016.
“Are political decision makers up to speed with the situation?” asked Fingrid’s President and CEO Jukka Ruusunen when introducing a panel discussion by politicians at the Energy Day in Tampere on 25 October.

The change currently underway in the electricity system requires a new kind of energy policy and stronger markets, Fingrid said when addressing the topic this spring.
The chair of the Green League Ville Niinistö believes that Fingrid is on the wrong track if it ”resists small, renewable energy subsidies”.
The keynote speaker at Fingrid’s 20th anniversary celebration was Marjo Miettinen, owner and member of the board of EM Group. She provides her views on the importance of Fingrid and the future of the electricity market.
According to Fortum Oyj’s President and CEO Pekka Lundmark, energy policy needs to have a balance between climate targets and electricity market efficiency and security of supply. Finland could be an active supporter and developer of a joint energy policy in the Nordic countries.
The Metsä Group bioproduct mill scheduled for completion next year in Äänekoski will produce more than twice the electricity it needs. In order to guarantee system security and adequate transmission capacity, Fingrid is expanding the Koivisto substation located near the mill area and building a new transmission line from Koivisto to the Vihtavuori substation in Laukaa. Metsä Group is also commissioning another transmission line from Äänekoski to the Koivisto station.
